Ekman-Larsson will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury and is still “a few days away from playing” according to head coach Dave Tippet. This is a huge blow to the Coyotes blueline and a team that will look to snap a 10-game road losing streak.

OEL has been one of the better defensemen in fantasy this season, he has 22 points (4G / 18A) in 40 games and should be activated in all formats. Expect him to be paired with Derek Morris tonight and jump back onto the top power-play unit alongside Keith Yandle.
